3 things to remember before packing your sensual gadgets

Keep these in mind so they don’t get confiscated

Having a sex toy is not a crime, at least in several countries. Up until this moment, sex toys are still considered taboo, despite being packed with technology that they’re easily deemed as personal gadgets for self-pleasure.

During the pandemic, the shipments for sex toys rose since both singletons and couples are locked up — finding ways to quench their thirst and hold their libido in order to be safe from the rampaging virus.

Now that the world is starting to open up for domestic and overseas travel, people are starting to book their flights to make those long-overdue trips materialize into reality.

With the changes in behavior regarding self-pleasure, it’s easy to slip your favorite toys into your luggage so that you can bring your vibrating companion wherever you go.

But before you pack these travel companions, here are some things to remember:

Check the country you’re visiting

Not every country is willing to bat an eyelid at the sight of your beloved companion. That’s probably the case for the United States and the United Kingdom where sex toys aren’t illegal.

Countries like India, the United Arab Emirates, and the Maldives classify sex toys along the same lines as firearms, explosives, and weapons under the category of illegal pornographic material. This is the same for most Islamic countries.

If you don’t want your toy to get confiscated, or worse, find yourself behind bars and get persecuted, take the time to research the laws surrounding sex toys in your desired destination. Just to be really safe, keep them in your bedside drawer while you’re on holiday.

Always keep it small

Good things come in small packages. That’s particularly true for sex toys when you pack them inside your luggage. If the country you’re visiting allows you to bring your beloved toy, there are still restrictions you’ll need to check. For instance, the United Kingdom states that tools in carry-on baggage must be under 6cm.

If you don’t pack a compact device as your travel companion, it’s bound to be confiscated. Luckily, there are small, discreet, yet powerful bullet vibrators that you can bring with you anywhere you go. Such an example is the We-Vibe Tango X.

For men, the Arcwave Voy is a compact stroker that you can bring anywhere if you aim to level up your masturbation game.

On another note, if you’re still ancient and use battery-powered toys, don’t forget to remove the batteries to avoid them going off in the X-ray machine.

We love it quiet

On certain occasions that your toys started vibrating in your suitcase, it’s important that they remain quiet. To avoid cases like this, it’s important to look for devices with travel settings.

If my beard trimmer can stay locked while in my luggage, your sex toys should, too. For instance, the We-Vibe Melt comes with a travel lock feature so that it won’t turn on by itself once activated.

Other toys that you might want to check out are the We-Vibe Chorus (if you’re coupled up) or LIBERTY by Lily Allen which comes with a travel cover.

GameSir has a special G7 Pro WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers Edition

Inspired by Wuchang’s Draconic Resurgence costume

GameSir has officially launched a special edition G7 Pro WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers Edition controller.

This high-performance multi-platform controller works with Xbox, PC, and Android, and features a striking new design that ties in with 505 Games’ latest title.

The controller is now available on the GameSir website for US$ 99.99 / £ 109.99 / PhP 5,900. It will be available on Amazon as well by October.

The G7 Pro WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers Edition is inspired by Wuchang’s Draconic Resurgence costume.

It has a distinct blue green appearance, with both sides draped in golden dragon scales that have been enhanced with layered UV resin textures.

The smart charging station features the Soulslike title’s logo, while the A, Y, X, and B buttons also have the game’s font.

Beyond aesthetics, the controller retains key features from the original G7 Pro. It features tri-mode connectivity so users can connect via 2.4GHz wireless, wired, or Bluetooth. It also supports one-press wake-up for Xbox consoles.

At the core of the controller’s precision is GameSir Mag-Res TMR stick technology. This combines the low power consumption of traditional potentiometers and the longevity and stability of Hall Effect sticks.

The result is faster response times, as well as consistent in-game control. This is further supported by a 1000Hz polling rate when connected to PC or 2.4GHz.

In addition, the G7 Pro introduces four customizable macro buttons: two mini bumpers and two lockable back buttons. This gives gamers a flexible configuration. A built-in gyroscope (for PC only) also enables intuitive motion input mapping.

Furthermore, the optical micro switch ABXY buttons and mechanical micro D-pad ensure crisp, esports-level feedback. The four independent rumble motors (one in each grip and trigger) deliver immersive, localized haptic feedback.
